Customers kept telling Kershaw, "I wish you guys made a plain black Leek with a stonewashed blade". Well, they made it.

Like other Leeks, it features a task-ready 3.0" blade, slim, easy-to-carry design, and cutting versatility. The modified drop-point blade shape makes it a good slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it excellent piercing and detail work capabilities. Built of Sandvik 14C28N high-performance stainless steel, the Leek’s blade comes razor sharp out of the box and holds its edge, too. We gave it a roughened up, stonewashed finish to hide scratches and for general cool looks. Of course, it also has SpeedSafe assisted opening for fast and easy one-handed opening. Left- or right-handed, a simple pull back on the ambidextrous flipper and the Leek’s stonewashed blade is ready to go to work.

A sturdy liner lock keeps the blade open during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks it closed when folded. The pocket clip is reversible for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard.

Awesome Knife !

This is the lightest of the Leek Line of Kershaw knives, and the finish of the blade is actually a bit smoother and shinier than what you see in the photo here. The lockup on this knife is the best of ANY folder I&#039;ve ever owned, and that includes another Kershaw, 3 SOGs, and most surprising is that the lockup is even better than my Benchmade 470-1 Emissary ! There is absolutely ZERO Up/Down, and ZERO side to side play in this blade, which is phenomenal for a knife that is under 50.00 ! The blade is ultra sharp right out of the box, and the knife is the perfect size and weight for an EDC pocketknife. I&#039;m glad that the pocketclip is reversible, and it is also removable if you want as well.

This knife is one of the best values out there, and I highly recommend it ! I would definitely buy it again.
